UK Charts: Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave Drops To Number 8 As FC 27 Tops The Podium
EA Sports FC 27 has debuted at number one on the UK physical charts following its release on 25th September, with PlayStation 5 commanding the majority of sales across the platform landscape. Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave has slipped from its debut position to number eight, a respectable placement nonetheless given competition from major multiplatform releases. Other notable movements include the return of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond to the charts and a resurgence in sales for The Witcher III ahead of its forthcoming Remastered edition.
The data reveals PS5 significantly outpaced competitor consoles, whilst Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 accounted for 8% and 5% of sales respectively. The top 40 demonstrates a diverse catalogue, with titles such as Cyberpunk in third place, LEGO Batman in fifth, and Pokémon among the established performers. Fire Emblem's strong eighth-place finish is particularly noteworthy for a Nintendo exclusive in the UK market, particularly given the simultaneous launches of competing releases during the same commercial window.
